Mandiant also released a five-minute video that shows hackers in various acts of hacking, illustrated via screen captures. And its report is full of fascinating facts. For example, Mandiant released the handles it assigned three of these hackers -- DOTA, SuperHard, and UglyGorilla -- and goes into some detail about each one.

DOTA may have taken his name from a game called Defense of the Ancients and is apparently a "Harry Poter" (sic) fan. SuperHard gets his moniker from his habit of replacing the names of companies within hacked modules with the word "SuperHard" -- so Microsoft Corp. within CMD.exe becomes SuperHard Corp. (That seems about right.) UglyGorilla is apparently just ugly, but his real name is probably the somewhat redundant Wang Dong.

Also: In Chinese hacker slang, an infected computer is called a "meat chicken." Aren't you happy you bothered to read this blog post now?
